About the Work
"I
particularly
like
this
work
for
its
rich
colour
and
historical
significance.
We
see
a
view
of
the
early
church
rising
above
the
trees
and
the
family
of
Hoanui
Wiremu
Hipango
being
led
by
him
and
the
Rev
Richard
Taylor
in
procession
from
the
church.
I
particularly
like
George
Sherriff’s
work
having
grown
up
with
two
large
landscapes
in
our
home,
one
of
which
I
still
own.
His
landscapes
and
the
depth
of
his
oil
paint
colouring
is
particularly
appealing.
Another
of
his
fine
works,
a
scene
in
England,
is
a
treasured
asset
of
the
Whanganui
Club."
